This book is not Amish-made. It is, however, published by Mennonites.
by Gary Gates
The Pennsylvania Dutch are a group of Americans that are descended from the original German immigrants who settled in America, first in Pennsylvania. Their native German tongue describing their language or heritage, Deutsch, became confused in English as Dutch, and the misnomer stuck.
The Amish and other Old Order Anabaptists like the Mennonites, Dunkards, and River Brethren are known as the Plain Pennsylvania Dutch. Other modern descendants, such as we, are known as the Fancy Dutch.
Pennsylvania Dutchman Gary Gates provides a glossary, read-aloud section, songs, recipes, and more in this delightful, inwaluble introduction to Dutch-ified English.
Learn the meaning of "rutch" and "spritz", what a "clod" and a "crotch" are, how to pronounce and make Cussin Rachel's Snitz und Knepp, and what has happened to food when it's all.
As the author claims, As you read this book you will not only learn how to speak better, but when an American Dutchman becomes president you will understand him when he addresses the nation in Dutch-ified English.
